The parish register of Bircham Newton, from 1562 to 1743

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

*^* This book, though issued by and printed for

me, has been collated and edited throughout by my

friend Mr. Howlett, who has kindly taken the work

oflf my hands.

Walter Rye.

PR EFACE,

This register is a small octavo volume, measuring
seven inches and a half by four inches and three-
quarters. It consists of three gatherings of parch-
ment, roughly fastened by ties of the same material
into a parchment cover, and this now very ragged
envelope bears traces of the words ** Byrcham
New . . . regester book."

The first page has suffered from rubbing, from
damp, and from pitiless scribbling ; and thus the
entries on it, between 1569 and 1579, have become
almost obliterated. These, however, have been
first deciphered independently, and then compared
with the names of the same persons appearing else-
where as the parents of children baptised or buried.
As the readings in every case obtained confirmation
from the comparison, they may perhaps be taken as
free from doubt.

ii Preface,

Notes are appended, showing where four or five
of the oldest hands quit the record. No names are
affixed in these notes ; but it is admissible to go
further in the preface, and to say that the first,
which writes all from 1562 to 1599 inclusive, with
exquisite neatness and in yellow-brown ink, cannot
be that of John Balkey, who became Rector in
1 56 1, on the gift of Robert, Lord Dudley, for he
was buried in August, 1573. The brief tenure of
the living in 1573, by Christopher Watson, not
being evidenced on this record, the second writer is
the Rev. Adam Rowstorne, or Rawstorne, who
signs the register in 1603, but ceases to record in
1609, though his death, as the book itself shows,
did not take place till 162 1. His writing is bold
and diffuse.

The third hand, presumably that of some locum
tenensj enters four baptisms in 1 609.

A fourth writer, who signs himself Adam
Rawstorne (see p. 27), probably the son of the first
rector of that name, appears in 16 10 and finishes in
1 619. There is a slight change in his hand after
1616 ; but it is everywhere neat, compact, and
upright, differing very widely from the hand of the
previous Adam Rowstorne.

Preface, iii

Then, either among the baptisms or the burials,
the fifth (1621 and 1622), sixth (1623 and 1624),
seventh, and eighth hands are seen. Three of these
must be traces of Giles King, John Stuer, and
perhaps John Steares. No. 7 records two burials
in 1625 and 1626, — carelessly enough on p. 27
among the baptisms, — while No. 8 copies them into
their proper places on p. 41.^

Next, beginning with marriages in 1620, and
baptisms and 'burials in 1627, — and thus making
entries which perhaps 5 and 6 ought to have
made, — we have the small, neat hand of ** Tho :
Carter, Rector ibidem." This faithful gentleman
evidently found our register disused when he took
over the parish in 1679 : mayhap because it had
been mislaid, and a second register had been started
in lieu of it. He decided, however, to continue the
old record, and transcribed, as we may think, from
the later volume all the marriage, baptismal, and
burial entries from 1620 down to his own time.
His source of information can only be conjectured
as above ; but that he was copying is obvious, not
only from dates, but from the transition which occurs,
about 1679, from the neat hand of one who

The paging of the Register is noted in the margins of this edition.

iv Preface.

transcribes at one sitting, to the less regular writing
of one who enters on separate occasions, and is
subject to the changes and chances of pen
and ink.

Mr. Carter's hand ages with his record, and
ceases in 171 7. Two marriages in 1718 are no
doubt entered by the old rector's curate ; but with
1 719 the rule of Samuel Bagge supervened. The
• poor man, however, seems to have lost his reason,
and such trifles as the life records of his parishioners,
involving, perchance, nothing more important than
their property and reputations, were left by his
substitutes to a parish clerk.

We learn, thus, that " Sarey the dater of Robt
and Franes Crow" was "babtis" in " Fabery
1723." Thus, also, it is that three sadly blundered
entries of christenings in 1722, 1723, and 1724,
respectively, have been blotted out after being
viciously re-copied. They now appear as having all
taken place in 1722 — a pleasant record, possibly, in
future years for the child of a then newly married
couple.

Page 46, as far as 1732, and the whole of p. 47,
are written carefully, but cruel slovening elsewhere
prevails ; and p. 45, which, with pp. 6, 7, and 8,

Preface, v

contains the latest entries (of baptisms and burials
mixed) is a disgrace to the Church of England of
the eighteenth century.

The obiter dicta of scrawlers are, of course, plen-
tiful ; and on p. 48 of the Register, which is
otherwise blank, is a seventeenth-century poem
signed by a parishioner : —

Thou that through fortune art extold so hie,
And thou which eatest the fat of the greate mother,
Death with his dart subduse the[e] at y* last
And takes the[e] cleane from all terrestriall pleasur.

The[e] ihinkest riches heaven for to obtaine

Now in this world you all ways to remaine.

John Crisp.

This literary genius flourished circa 1652. He
has had so long to wait for public recognition that
he ought to be spared all criticism.

Those who search this register should bear in
mind the careless mixing of entries of different
classes which disgraces the later portion. They
had better either read the index or search the record
page by page, and then check results by the index.
Care has been taken to make the latter complete ;
but variations of spelling render it unsafe to trust to
mere alphabetical order. Real workers learn late

vi Preface,

in life that indexes should always be read through.
The body of a book may often be skimmed with
safety if the index be really perused.

The truth must be stated that Bircham Newton is
not a famous or historical place. Indeed, it is said
that in 151 1 it had only one inhabitant. Careful
search has elicited very little more about it than
Blomefield has already given ; but we can give
a few additional references to early records, and
we can certainly annex a better list of rectors.

Newton appears in Domesday Book as Niwetuna,
which Blomefield ventures to say means a town
near to some river or water, and Bircham was
added to distinguish the place from Newton Flot-
man and others of the name.

Tove, a freeman, was lord of it before the
Conquest, and was forced, ultimately, to give place
to Ralph de Bellofago ; but, at a time before the
latter had it, the eleven freemen on the land held
under Eudo [de Rie]. Stigand had the soc, which,
before the Conquest, was valued at 60^. per annum,
but at \oos. at the Domesday survey. The parish,
Blomefield adds, was half a leuca in length and
breadth, and paid 2od. to a 20s. gelt. In Tove's

Preface. vii

time there were four villeins, three bordarii, and
three servi, as well as the eleven freemen.

There was a church endowed with twenty acres
of land, which were valued at i6^. per annum.

Ralph de Bellofago's heiress, Agnes, married
Hubert de Rie, Castellan of Norwich Castle; but his
descendant — grandson, Blomefield thinks — Hubert
de Rie, Baron of Rie, dying without male issue in
the 8th year of Henry II., left two daughters as co-
heiresses. He had previously given the town to
William de Kerdeston, to be held of his barony of
Rie ; and from the Feet of Fines, Norfolk, John,
No. 38, and from the Charter Roll, ist John, 2nd
part, m. 28, it appears that in the year 1200, Alina
[de Rye], wife of John le Mareshall, and Isabel [de
Rye], wife of Geoffrey de Chester, levied a fine of
land in Newton. It was thus confirmed to Roger
de Kerdeston, to be held by half a knight^s fee, and
Fulk de Kerdeston appears, on the occasion of the
aid for the marriage of Henry III.'s sister to the
Emperor, as holding the fourth part of a knight's
fee.

It remained in the De Kerdeston family until
in the 24th Henry VI. it was settled by Sir Thomas
Kerdeston and Philippa his wife on themselves in

viii Preface,

tail, with remainder to William de la Pole, Earl
of Suffolk.

This, Blomefield no doubt learned from the Feet
of Fines, 24th Henry VI., No. 210: —

William, Earl of Suffolk and Alicia his wife v, Thomas
Kerdeston, Knt., and Philippa his wife : of manors of
Sydesterne and Newton-juxta-Bircham.

In 12 Henry VII. the Earl of Suffolk granted
Newton to the Robsart family, and the place
becomes in a way linked with the Cumnor tragedy.

On the death of Robert, Earl of Leicester, it
descended to the Walpole family, by the marriage
of Edward Walpole of Houghton with Lucy,
daughter of Sir Terry P.obsart, and in Blomefield*s
time it was still held by the Earl of Orford.

In Edward I.'s reign, the rector had 50 acres of
land with a house, and the early eighteenth century
Terrier subjoined (see p. 33) shows practically the
same glebe lands.

From Bishop Tanner's notes preserved at
Norwich, we learn the following : —

There are but few entries known to exist in the
Public Record Office as to Bircham Newton, and
many references are doubtful on account of the
ambiguity involved in the frequent description of the
place as " Newton."

The following are, however, free from doubt : —
Licences, Pardons, &c. Bircham Newton. Ad-

transcription and publication, intends to restore it to

The time has certainly come for printing Parish

Registers, and the fact that this volume has once

been loosed from its ancient moorings strengthens

the assertion. The editors, therefore, feel that there

is no need for excuses, beyond a few vicarious

apologies for the scantiness of the history made

by the ancient inhabitants of the place. Neither

the Civil War nor the Great Plague could, it

would seem, disturb the slumberous peace of

Bircham Newton.

• The name Young appears in the varieties Yonge^ Younge^ Youngs^
Younges^ which are reducible to the two, Young and Youngs. The latter
form, in the clear hand of the Rev. Thomas Carter, occurs thrice on page
29 of the Register, and plentifully elsewhere ; but Nicholas Young, on p. 30
of the Register, is identical with Nicholas Youngs on p. 44.
